THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA IOWA CITY OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS DIVISION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION February 26, 1942 Mr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allens: - |The assignment by the Goverment of the Naval Aviation Unit has forced us to make certain changes in our plans for a more intensive program in physical education. We have always had required or compulsory physical education, as well as special classes for those who had a desire to become physically fit and who wished to do this work on an elective basis. I am quite sure that if this Naval Unit had not been assigned to our University, the enclosed program would have been accepted by the faculty for our own students. Now I am not sure just what will take place here and must wait until this Navel Unit becomes established. | If there is any other information that I can give you, kindly drop me a line. Sincerely yours E. G. Schroeder Director of Physical Education and Athletics EGS :ML
